dress code
Dress Code - Since the primary function of school is education, student dress should be appropriate for the school environment. With the cooperation of all parents/guardians, the school expects all students to dress in a manner that is appropriate for a school day and which will not substantially disrupt the educational process and climate or be a safety or health concern.
Examples of inappropriate dress:
• Headgear – hats, hoods, bandanas, earmuffs, sweat bands, do-rags/wave caps, hair picks or
combs, and rollers

tops, backless dresses, sport bras, bare/one shoulder tops, see-through or net tops, excessively tight or revealing clothing

• Exposed undergarments i.e., boxers/bra straps: or clothing carried over one shoulder and/or
partially worn

• Apparel or items which refer to drugs, alcohol, sex, the occult, gangs, profanity, or which are
offensive to ethnic, racial, or religious groups
• Tattoos and body piercings, to the extent that they demonstrate health and safety concerns, will be considered inappropriate
